shiny! |
It's an altered puzzle. I am a great fan of Craftster.org, and on there they have many much more accomplished and interesting ones, but, well, no one is stepping up to make one for me, so I just had a go at it.
I didn't look into how other people did theirs, but here's what I did: I bought a 24 piecer at the thrift shop, assembled it, flipped it over and numbered the backs. Then I sanded the finish off, then glued stuff to them, then trimmed them with an exact knife. Glued it to a piece of cardboard, went over it with Modpodge, and then glued shiny bits to it.
Some ingredients:
4 books - two about fossils, one about oceans, and one copy of "The Little Engine that Could"
4 pieces of my handmade paper
3 items cut out of my old sketchbooks (cat, snail, and the clothes the goose is wearing)
One purpose carved jellyfish stamp, because I got to the last piece and thought, what this puzzle really needs is jellyfish.
A lot of the rest is wrapping paper, things cut from magazines, and tissue paper...
I don't do a lot of paper crafts, but I do hoard a lot of paper... I found this to be an extremely engrossing project, and worked on it with all my spare time for four days!
